The Georgia Junior Open is a proud to be a part of the Tennis Recruiting.net National Showcase Series. Tournaments in the National Showcase Series are USTA sanctioned junior tournaments open to players from all sections. These tournaments are designed to give a broad range of players the chance to compete outside their districts and sections - and these tournaments will count toward Tennis Recruiting rankings !! Players who compete in these tournaments and win at least one match will become NATIONAL PLAYERS for their Tennis Recruiting rankings.

A Photographer from TennisRecruiting.net will be in attendance taking action photos Saturday and Sunday.

• Last year almost 600 entrants played the first tournament at Rome Tennis Center @ Berry College.. Yearly it is the 1st or 2nd largest junior tournament in Georgia.
• The GA Junior Open has a rich heritage dating back to it's beginning in 1955. The event was started at Bitsy Grant Tennis Center in Atlanta, where it was held for more than 20 years. When the tournament outgrew the 13 clay courts at Bitsy Grant, the GA Open was moved to South Fulton Tennis Center in 1978, where it remained for 25 years. Because of continued growth, the GA Open evolved into a 2-week event with 10-14's playing one week and the 16-18's the next. In 2003 the tournament moved to Rome. Because of the 60+ courts available for tournament play, it returned to the one-week format.
• From the start the GA Open was a stop on the Southern National Circuit. It has been a USTA National event for most of its existence. However, the USTA elected to set a limit on the number of national ranking events each section could offer. Even though Southern is much larger than any other section it is allowed the same number of ranking events as even the smallest section (currently, 2 Level 3’s and 4 level 4’s). Since there are so few national ranking events in the 9-state Southern Section, the GA Open lost its USTA national status about 9 years ago.
• However, the Tennis Recruiting Network [TRN] has recognized the strength of field of the GA Open and it has designated it as a National event for TRN rankings for the past five years. We are delighted that TRN, the official research site for college coaches, has recognized the strength of the GA Junior Open.
• Former champions include Charlie Pasarell, Zan Guerry, Andy Brandi, Crawford Henry, John Callen, Donna Floyd Fales and Grace Min among others. We hope you will become part of the legacy created by these and other notable players who have played in or won the GA Junior Open.
